SACRAMENTO -- Slamming the Republican Congress for dropping the ball on immigration reform, Democratic legislative leaders on Tuesday unveiled a sweeping package of bills that would dramatically expand protections for illegal immigrants far beyond what&#x27;s offered by any other state. The 10 pieces of legislation would offer state-subsidized health care coverage to the undocumented poor, make it illegal for businesses to discriminate against customers based on their immigration status or the language they speak, and make it harder for federal authorities to deport immigrants living here illegally.San Jose Mercury Newshttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3277963/posts#commentFri, 10 Apr 2015 22:11:58 GMTBoehner Caves on Amnestyhttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3263775/posts
&#x93;We were never going to win in Congress.&#x94; That is the epitaph spoken by Speaker Boehner ally Representative Tom Cole on the collapse of House Leadership&#x92;s resolve to legislatively fight Executive Amnesty. It may also be the final nail in the coffin for the notion of co-equal branches of government, as President Obama has already announced that he is considering using unilateral executive actions to ban ammunition and raise corporate taxes, on top of his massive Internet regulation announced last week.Foxnewshttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3263775/posts#commentTue, 3 Mar 2015 20:57:27 GMTCalifornia governor toughens climate change goals (Mad Jerry Geezer Goes Off Again)http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3243795/posts

America&#x27;s struggling labor unions got a gift this year when President Obama announced his expansive executive actions on immigration: potentially thousands, if not millions, of new members. Labor leaders reportedly are launching a new recruiting push by reaching out to those immigrants affected by Obama&#x27;s immigration announcement last month. The actions are expected to offer work permits to some 4 million immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally and, until now, were reluctant to join unions for fear of retaliation. Union leaders now say the president&#x27;s actions give them new protections -- and are keen on signing them up.Foxnews.comhttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3240885/posts#commentThu, 25 Dec 2014 18:44:38 GMTStephen Kessler: Why all Californians are Mexicanhttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3228404/posts
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, which ended the Mexican War and for a cool $15 million acquired what is now the entire southwestern United States &#x97; Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah and parts of Wyoming and Colorado &#x97; from Mexico was an uncannily well-timed moment in U.S. history. Could American negotiators have known that within a year gold would be discovered in California and the flood of Anglo and other immigrants into this state would be the beginning of a population boom still going on 165 years later?Santa Cruz Sentinelhttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3228404/posts#commentTue, 18 Nov 2014 20:44:50 GMTVice president of El Salvador visits Watsonvillehttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3056115/posts
WATSONVILLE -- Much to the fanfare of locals, El Salvador&#x27;s vice president, Salvador S&#xE1;nchez Cer&#xE9;n, made a stop in Watsonville on Saturday to greet elected officials and residents of Salvadoran descent. There are an estimated 5,000 people of Salvadoran decent in Santa Cruz County, said Assemblyman Luis Alejo, D-Watsonville. A former mayor, Oscar Rios, is of Salvadoran descent. &#x22;I think it&#x27;s only natural that the vice president come here to the community to see how we can work and create a great relationship between California and El Salvador in terms of a wide range of issues,&#x22; Alejo said.

According to Sen.

However, as Washington Examiner columnist Byron York recently reported, &#x93;the bottom line is an immigrant could have more than three misdemeanor convictions in his background check and still qualify for legalization.&#x94;The Washington Examinerhttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3035025/posts#commentMon, 24 Jun 2013 17:59:34 GMTCollege students protest Kobach on immigrationhttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2962179/posts
TOPEKA -- About 50 college students who are in the U.S. illegally marched Tuesday on Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach&#x27;s office urging him to stop working on immigration laws and to do his state job. The students from Kansas and Arizona delivered a letter to a staff member, who said Kobach was in his office but unable to meet with the students.

Many Mexicans who voted for Vicente Fox are bewildered. Four years into his term as president, the man who promised to kick the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, out of power forever now seems to have been kidding. The PRI is coming back, winning state election after state election, and Mexico&#x27;s first president elected in a free and fair race doesn&#x27;t appear to be doing anything about it. But other Mexicans should, because if the former ruling party returns to office in the next presidential election, in 2006, the country&#x27;s democracy will have been short-lived.

Of those, half are born in Los Angeles County, where Latinos account for nearly two-thirds of all births.
